SMEW(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is SMEW(1) from the General Commands Manual, and it's literally the smew utility: search related messages from Mew's database file. it's giving "find the message fam" energy, and I'm obsessed. πŸ¦‹πŸ’…

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

smew myid [mydb [mydir]]

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

The smew utility searches related messages from a Message-ID database file with SQLite 3 for Mew. no cap. ✨

myid is a Message-ID of the message to search. that's the main character you're looking up, periodt. πŸ‘‘

mydb is a database file name. default: "~/Mail/id.db" β€” that's where it lives unless you say otherwise. πŸ’Ύ

mydir is a directory part of the message in the database. note that messages are contained as a relative path from "~/Mail". if multiple messages are found by myid, the first found one is preferred. however, the message whose directory is mydir is preferred to the first one. so like, mydir gets VIP treatment, iykyk. πŸ’…

The options are as follows:

  • -c β€” Search a parent message only. πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§
  • -p β€” Search a child message only. πŸ§’

that's the whole page, bestie. this was SMEW(1) from the General Commands Manual, dated February 17, 2008. mwah πŸ’‹ slay, bye! 🫢✨
